You can never have too much history and so I am looking forward to "OPENING 1914" which starts on Wednesday November 19 and runs to Saturday November 29.
Janine Waters who co wrote the production writes
“Opening 1914 is the new show from the creative team at The Edge (Spinach, Dreaming Under a Different Moon).
A dip back in time, to the Chorlton of a hundred years ago when there was an ice rink on Oswald Road, too many picture houses and a brand new public library just about to open.
Clara, Fred, Lucy and Eddie are just some of the characters who take us on a countdown to the opening of a beloved library and to the start of a war that would change the world forever.”
Now what I also like is that you have the chance to see the production at either the library or the Edge Theatre.
So those like me who want to sit in the very spot where the story unfolds the Library performances are on Wednesday the 19th through to Saturday 22nd and then at the Edge Theatre from Tuesday November 25 till Saturday the 29.
But that does make for a dilemma because the Edge is based in the old Methodist Sunday School which during the Great War was a Red Cross Hospital and the romantic in me wonders about more ghosts looking down on us.
And given that it will be a popular event I will have to decide soon.
Tickets according to Janine will cost “£5 for a special centenary price & site specific performances at Chorlton Library £8/£10 performances at Edge Theatre. All tickets from: www.edgetheatre.co.uk . 0161 282-9776."
The production is supported by the Arts Council and Manchester City Council and is part of the Chorlton Book Festival
